Well folks it's been a long time since I checked in but wanted to let everyone know that I'll be putting together the draft reactions from this year. I already sent out to my e-mail group and even posted to all like 4 people who follow me on twitter lol. Either way, if you're new to the site or actually check it around draft time, I didn't fall off the face of the Earth. I just haven't been keeping up with the Bears like I used to. Things change and now I want to get back to work.
With that said, my yearly "Second Guessing" article will be up tomorrow. I will also follow up with a look at the 2008 draft and other 2nd-guesses I have made. If anyone has ideas or inquiries feel free to hit me up at dachurch@gooutcheap.com.
Go Bears!
And a FUCKING QB in the 5th round knowing you only have 5 picks this year??? Jerry Angelo continues to be the most fucking ignorant GM not named Millen.

Looking Back: 2007 Chicago Bear Draft
Most experts tell you that it takes 3 years to evaluate a draft. Unforuntately for Jerry Angelo, this draft was easy to evaluate in 2008 but I waited the mandatory 3 years. Here comes the trainwreck:
1 31 Greg Olsen TE - Coming off his most productive season but at best a solid, pass-catching TE
2 62 Dan Bazuin DE - One season in NFL and gone
3 93 Garrett Wolfe RB - 3rd-string RB and special teams player
3 94 Michael Okwo LB - One season in the NFL and gone
4 130 Josh Beekman C - Heir apparent to Olin Kreutz but the jury is still out and will be for some time
5 167 Kevin Payne DB - Starting SS by default, liability in coverage and tackling
5 168 Corey Graham DB - Backup corner though has handled himself well when pressed into duty
7 221 Trumaine McBride DB - Non-factor who was cut after 3 seasons and currently trying to make the Arizona Cardinals
7 241 Aaron Brant G - Cut during first training camp and out of the league
Even with the pick of Olsen who still can't block and is a middle-tier tight end in the NFL, this was a fucking abomination. Usually when I grade something I try to give it a letter grade. So on a scale of A through F, I give this draft ... A BALLOON. Because it's FUCKING RETARDED.

Thoughts after 3 weeks
Where is Kevin Jones? We are going to wear out Forte at this rate. He's good but damn let's not turn him into Eddie George (a great RB who finally wore down).
Matt Millen has been fired only 6 years too late. This is great news for the Lions but bad news for the Bears as the joke from up north may actually find someone competent and how hard could it be to find someone better than Jerry Angelo?
Brandon Lloyd is looking good at the top spot on the wide receiver ... the problem is who the hell is going to step up at the #2? It sure as fuck isn't Rashied Davis.
We sent Mark Bradley packing and picked up a CB? What the fuck? Hey, I thought Bradley was going to be axed before week 1 but I thought it would be for Brandon Rideau. We have no #2 or #3 so what the hell is the kid doing on our practice squad ... give him a fucking chance!
Could we please quit passing the ball to Jason McKie and get Greg Olsen and Desmond Clark more involved? Olsen had a HORRENDOUS game in Week 2 but we have to move passed that. He and Clark should be leading this team in catches because a creative offensive coordinator should be using these guys to get mismatches.
Devin Hester returns this week and not a moment too soon. I was holding my breath every time Nate Vasher was sent back to return punts. He is much too valuable a CB to expose him to punt return duties.
Speaking of What the fuck ... I'm looking at you Peanut Tillman. You are a veteran and got baited into a fight by some lackluster wide out who is lucky to be even on the field. Fucking stupid.
Kyle Orton, you are no longer allowed to check out of a run on 3rd and short. You have a battering ram of a running back in Matt Forte so just give him the damn ball!
Could Mark Anderson be any more of a one-year wonder? Actually that entire d-line needs to get their shit together. Brian Griese throws 67 times and isn't sacked ... that is just plain horrible.
Chris Williams is back to practice and is "on no time table" to get on the playing field. I'm still waiting for him to get injured during a non-contact practice ... AGAIN; great pick, Jerry.
Bob Babich, it's time to update your resume. This defense hasn't been right since that meltdown of all meltdowns against Detroit last season. It's not working, bring in a REAL defensive coordinator!
